Thomas, the Laptop & the Mammogram...

Sir Thomas of Snuggle has been MIA for 3 weeks today.

 "I knew mom was having trouble with the laptop."

 "And Star was busy teaching important Ninja Skills to Audrey."

 "So I figured I'd take on the job of laying on

mom's hand so she'd get off of the 'puter."

"We actually have a whole Breast Cancer section but the best news is that mom's mammogram was normal this year!!  WHOOT!!  This means that she doesn't have to go back for a dumb ole' ultrasound.  What??  ::blush:: I know IT'S important to have one if you need one.  But it meant mom forgot to get us new treats last year!!!" - Zaphoid

Just Bouncing Through!!

 "Well, it's not me!!  It's hot again so I'm sleeping in the basin.  Besides which, it squishes Pernicious  Fleas!!"

 "It's not me either, although I can make you give me gooshy food with the power of my laser eyes!  bwahahahahahahahahaha!"

 "'cuse me.  I'm sleeping.  I got allll worn from... from... ::sigh::  okay, I'll admit it, I've started bounding & bouncing instead of

running like all of the other cats.  Jen also calls me a meercat because I can stand up so well on my back legs.  ::rolls eyes::"

 "As you can see, I have been teaching my young padawan,

Audrey, the ways of the Ninja Kitty.  I must say that I had

quite a chuckle though when dad asked mom how much

longer Audrey would need to be on a leash.  Mom looked

at him and said (which she'd done before ::kitty giggle::)

"Always!!  I promised that she would be an inside cat before

we got her."  Silly ole' daddy!!  In fact, the rest of us haven't

been going out as much either and mom has never ever let

us stay out at night (as if she had anything to say about it)!"

"Everycat around here is short of energy.  Seriously.

Don't get between them & their caffeine.  We really 

don't want to have to... well, let's just say that our claws

are in prime condition and leave it at that, shall we?"

PS Thomas is still MIA

PPS Mom is still sick

PPPS Mom lost all of her AI files with the shop graphics when her laptop fubared.  ::sigh::  She still looking for a backup copy.  Cross your paws!!  If mom has had you email in the past, please please email her!!  And don't forget to check out our shop!  Our vet bills in the last couple of months have totaled over $500 and we're still having problems with Pernicious Fleas.  meh.

Nearly Two Weeks Now...

My laptop went totally... totally.  I had to reformat it to get the dvd-rw to read cds & for it to read the usb ports for anything but the mouse again.  As I'm sure everycat and feeder who has to deal with computers understands, having to do this when one is a mom who has problems with a) green papers b) memory (physical and mental!) and c) nothing to put the back-ups onto, I'm now sans a lot of things.  Email addresses, bookmarks, pictures, graphics, programs.  Wheeeee!  And given the type of pain I've been in lately, it may take some time before I'm up to snuff.  At least I'm able to put new pictures up which will help with my depression (now if I could just afford someone to drive me to the doctors' offices & clean up my house!!).  Sadly, Thomas has not come home.  He hasn't shown up at the animal shelter.  We've had signs up all around the neighborhood.  His brother stopped calling for him after a few days which is unusual behavior in the Horde.  Jennifer says that this means that Thomas has either crossed safely over the Bridge (he is 14 after all, even though he's healthier than his littermate) or that he's found a family that needs him more than we do.  Thomas is a wonderful, loving and handsome cat.  If he's found another family (which, honestly, would not surprise me one itty bitty bit!!) I would be okay with that.  As much as I love and cherish him, if the Lord needs him to be with someone else, I'm sure there's a good reason.  And he is so good for people who need love and affection.  In other news...

 "I have been diligently picking up all of the Ninja skills my

brothers are teaching me!  I can now work the remote control!!

I've also started jumping when I race down the hall!!"

 "As you can see, I'm helping dad feel better by letting him

scratch me... a LOT!!  Ummm, dad?  You missed a spot!"

 "We tried to help mom get a good picture of the peacock

and two peahens in our neighborhood but they didn't cooperate.

We stay far away from them because mommy said so."

"As you can see, Audrey and I have been busy guarding

mom's laptop while she & Star have been trying to fix it.  I've

decided that Audrey isn't too bad 99% of the time." - Knives

"True.  We've been hanging out on the bed some.  Don't tell mom but I let him put his head on my butt during one of our naps.  Oh yeah, and we've sniffed noses a few times too.  ::narrows eyes::  Just as long as he doesn't touch the hair bands.  All hair bands belong to ME!!" - Audrey

"Mom got her mammogram done!  We have a whole section

dedicated to breast cancer in our shop.  I'm going to have to work

on seeing if I can track down more of my mom's stuff." - Star

"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde and our Feeders really really

really (no, really!) appreciate the outpouring of prayers & purrs & everything we've gotten from everycat (and all the other species too).  Even when our mom couldn't get onto the 'puter, we all knew that all of you were out there thinking of us.

Thank you for your support."

Still Looking

MIA - Thomas

MIA!!!

Sir Thomas of Snuggle
(aka Thomas aka Tom Tom aka Tom)

Murfreesboro, TN

Escape Artist

Missing since  ~0745 CST Saturday July 9th

Wednesday I had a procedure done, went fine.  My laptop has been wonky.  Saturday we went to take the Horde to the vet¹ (over $300²).  Audrey & Thomas played the escape artist card.  Audrey came right to the front door when we got home.  Thomas is still missing.

¹ - We love our vet & our vet loves all of us!
² - Zaphy has a UTI, Knives has ear mites (itchy!), and everycat needed Pernicious Flea stuff!

Wordless Wednesday... Mostly

I wanted to put up new pictures but right now my computer doesn't see DVD-RW nor my camera.  meh.

Cost of Medicine...
Because of insurance, everyone has to take information in a certain order...

 

(off to my procedure!)

Wordless Wednesday

Where Has We Been??

 "First, I'm feeling much much better!"

 "But I think he gave whatever he had to mommy and 

Jennifer and Corwyn... and maybe daddy too!"

 "That's why I have not allowed mom on the computer.

I always keep her off the computer when she's not

feeling well.  She had to go Out three times this week,

and being sick on top of that.  ::sigh::  I've had to lay on top

of her quite a bit as well as guarding the door to the bedroom."

 "We're working hard on helping mom with being sick and

stressed too.  Dad went under the house today and found a

busted pipe.  He'd like to get a plumber but mom & dad don't

have any more green papers because of stinky... ummm...

yellow... ummmm... Knives.  Who feels much better now."

"PS Audrey isn't hissing at him hardly at all now!!"

"This is what everyfeeder looked like except daddy this week."

PS mom is having a bladder procedure just to check stuff

on the 6th so purring & praying even if we forgets

to post before then would be a Good Thing!  Thanks!

PPS This is for everycat & feeder (and even woofies) who aren't feeling well. 

Star says, "Actually this is especially for my adorable Admiral and her mommy!!!

I'm sorry I haven't been online my love but I am rushing right over to take care

of you while you are taking care of your mom!!  Kitty kisses & grooming!!"

New Toys!

 "Since mean ole' mom is making us stay in I used my

lazer eyes to force her to buy us a couple of new toys."

 "As you can see, the crinkle tube is a little small.  I fill up

almost all of it... in fact Corwyn (seen here wearing one of our 

IDJM t-shirts) measured me and with my tail I fill it all!!"

 "This mouse goes over the door.  It squeeks!!

I may have to catch it.

My lazer eyes aren't working."

 "Take that!  And that and that and that!!"

 "See?!  Not only does it sound just like a real mousie,

it looks like one too!!"

"More toys!  More toys!!  And maybe some cat grass!!"

Me-om!! What Happened to the Lights?! And Our Fountain!!

 "This morning dad got everycat & the other Feeders up at 0600 because of the siren at the airport near us blaring!  The Feeders all got dressed just in case we had to go into the front bathroom.  Of course we are always dressed in our beautiful furs!!  Then at 0630 all the lights went out!!   And our water fountains stopped flowing!!  Unfair!!"

 "But don't worry!!  I made the siren stop blaring!  It's been raining birds and dogs all day and the only Horde member to go OUT on the leash was dumb ole' Audrey but that's because she only goes out on the porch.  Dumb ole' Audrey.  Oh wait, Zaphy went out too but he made mom walk him all over down the driveway and in the back patio area.  He was sooooo mad because she made him stay on the leash!  Mom says she needs to get more harnesses (and leashes) so we can all have our own.  I think we each need our own color so dad can tell whose is whose.  Mom looked at this but said she didn't know if it would be big enough for us or not.  Then mom & I drooled over the furniture, steps & window seats!"

 "Daddy brought mom flowers last night just to help make her feel better.  Mom got denied SSD again.  Daddy knows that flowers help mom.  Of course we're much much much better at it!!"

"I'm practicing for our Second Annual Everycat Sleeping Contest!!  If you search in our search box on the side you can see who won last year!  Everycat should start practicing now... it will start in July!!"

"Mom had to drive TWO MILES to buy dad hot coffee because the lights were out so far!  They stayed out until 1030!!  They're starting to blink again so we're going to post this quick quick quick!!"

We Made a Sale!! (PS A Kitty Needs a Home!)

 "Yay!  We made a sale!!"

 "That's a $1.50 in our CafePress account once it clears!"

 "This is good because my left eye needs to

be checked & it's time for rabies shots."

 "Toys!!  Buy more toys!!"

"This is what someone got!  We've got two other address change

designs and put a linkee on this graphic so if you are letting

your Feeder(s) change your abode you can send them here

to let all of your furfriends know where to send you toys!!"

"Ahem.  Thomas here.  Precious is a pretty Princess living in South Carolina.  She lost her mom and needs a new home.  She is only six years old.  Precious is a wonderful wonderful kitty who needs a wonderful home.  If we had more room in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde we would ask her to come live here.  But since we don't, we would like everycat to go visit Brian's Home and look at the post about the Code Red Urgent! Precious Cat Needs Someone Now! 

Thank you!!  We now return you to your regularly scheduled blogs."
